What is Contract Works Insurance?
Contract Works Insurance, also known as Contractors All Risk Insurance, protects builders and other tradesmen while building works are in progress. Should a project be damaged or destroyed before its completion, then it’ll be covered for the cost of materials, labour, and the reinstatement of the project to the stage it was at when the damage occurred.

What does Contract Works Insurance cover?
Contract Works is a specific Add-on Insurance for construction workers and building firms that work on sites. In addition to this core cover, building contract works insurance can usually be extended to include cover for a range of tools and machinery that you may require for the job.
This covers the value of the work being carried out prior to completion of the contract. It insures the works against accidental loss, damage, or destruction.
Should yours break down and you need to rent one, this will cover the rental costs.
should any plant equipment you own or hire be lost, stolen, or damaged, this can cover replacement/ongoing hire fees.
Without your tools and machinery, you can’t operate. With tool thefts on the rise in the UK, you’d be wise to insure them. This covers tools and expensive pieces of machinery, such as diagnostic equipment. It can also provide Mac and Snap-On tools insurance, plus employees’ tools and toolbox options.
